History

The Nazi Party began in Germany after the first world war. They used strong words to get people to follow them. Eventually, their leader became the head of the country and took away people's rights.

Once they were in charge, they built up a large military. They wanted more land and power, which led to the start of the second world war. They fought against many other countries in a very long and sad struggle.

By the end of the war, the Nazi Party was defeated by the Allied forces. Their leaders were removed from power, and Germany was changed forever. This history is studied today to help people understand how to keep the world safe.
